This is a high voltage device that
can produce electrical arcs
capable of igniting coating
materials. Parts being sprayed must be supported on
conveyors or hangers and be grounded. The
resistance between the part and ground must not
exceed 1 megohm. (Reference NFPA-33.)
A safe distance must be maintained between the
parts being coated and the atomizer bell. A distance
of at least 1 inch for each 10 kV of power supply
output voltage is required at all times.
Parts must be supported so that they will not swing
and reduce the clearance specified above.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray area,
with the exception of those objects required by the
process to be at high voltage, must be grounded.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous
locations, the power supply and other electrical
equipment must not be used in Class I, Division 1
or 2 locations.

Halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1,-Trichloroethane
are not chemically compatible with
the aluminum that might be used
in many system components.
The chemical reaction caused by
these solvents reacting with
aluminum can become violent and
lead to an equipment explosion. Aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators,
triggering valves, etc. Halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents must never be used with aluminum
equipment during spraying, flushing, or cleaning.
Read the label or data sheet for the material you
intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a
coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact
your material supplier. Any other type of solvent
may be used with aluminum equipment.
